A big hurdle for many resource companies is the lack of access to, or prohibitive cost of, bulk export infrastructure. To overcome infrastructure restraints, capitalize on mineral prices and surging demand, many companies are looking at alternative shipping methods. This two day event will examine low cost ship loading, transhipment and port infrastructure for mineral assets. Analysis of transhipment, barging, use of containers, rotary tipplers, floating harbours, floating cranes, drive over mobile ship loaders and more will be included with a special emphasis placed on case studies. The conference will bring together the wide variety of mining companies, explorers, project developers, service providers and government representatives under the one roof.
